@pete Really, the only thing the vaccine is good at is to keep your vaccine passport valid.

...and all this risk for a vaccine that is proving to be nearly totally ineffective at preventing infection after just a few months: nature.com/articles/d41586-021

The U.S. should have 53 states because it's a prime number and can't be

This study is popping up in a lot of press right now. But what it actually says isn't that weight loss is not important. Rather, it says that the typical result of trying to lose weight with dieting is weight cycling, which is more harmful than not losing that weight in the first place. So better to focus on exercise, which has less downsides.

It's also unclear to me if they're able to fully account for the fact that people unable to exercise are probably less healthy.
